Garden / property care and bespoke stonework, carried out with old-world skill and quiet attention to detail.
What we're about
Old World Co. is all about real craft—old tools, old methods, deep respect for what’s come before. I’m Peter Edward: traditionally trained stonemason, 2020 Master Builders Apprentice of the Year (Stonemasonry), trusted on heritage sites from Brighton’s fire-scarred St James Catholic Church, to Pentridge Prison’s brutal bluestone, right through to Tasmania’s Treasury and Royal Engineers Buildings. I don’t cut corners; I shape them. In late 2025 I created Old World Co to bring Garden & Property Care and Bespoke Stonework into one business. Whether its's a stone block or a box hedge, I keep the edges sharp and an eagle eye on every detail.
